The Sea Ranger 540 RTB

Essentially they are a solid GRP boat speed boat designed like a rib. They are manufactured using a deck and hull mould with a strong internal GRP chassis chassis.



History behind the design

The idea behind the design came from South African Sport fishermen who wanted a boat that could stay afloat in the roughest of conditions and would take the punishment of the kind of equipment they are using for large sport fishing . This also gave the opportunity to use the sponsons for storage.

There was a need for speed and agility for launch and retrieval through big surf as well as stability when the boat is at station hence the gull wing hull design.

The 540 RTB (rigid tube boat) is one of the designs we identified in South Africa as being a boat for the future. They are especially designed for beach launch and retrieval through the heavy surf of the Indian Ocean coastline.

Thanks to the South African fisherman we now have an all round sports rib that has stunning looks and performance as well as greater storage.
